DAYHOFF: Items from history remind me of things for which I'm thankful

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff


Is there something in the air these days? Or did I miss a memo?

It seems that, recently, not a day goes by in which we are not deluged with bad news about the economy, politics, the economy, higher taxes, government deficits, international turmoil or just folks in the news acting like they are one french fry short of Happy Meal.

I used to ask if there was something in the water, but Jeff Glass, the Westminster director of public works, always corrected me with a smile: "No, Kevin, there must be something in the air, the water is fine. Got that?"

OK, I get it.

And something else I "get" is that we have many things for which to be thankful, and I should focus on that.

It used to be easier. I recall a time when a fellow elected official criticized me in a public meeting for being an eternal Pollyanna. Gee, I guess I'll take that criticism. I've heard worse things said about me.

[…]

So in the interest of mental health -- mine and yours -- I'll focus on things to be thankful for:

I'm thankful Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan are not dating.

I'm thankful that I did not watch the Oscar ceremonies.

[…]

First, on March 3, our nation celebrated the 80th anniversary of Congress enacting "The Star-Spangled Banner" -- written by Carroll County's native son, Francis Scott Key -- as our official national anthem. President Herbert Hoover signed the legislation into law on March 3, 1931…  http://www.explorecarroll.com/opinion/5216/items-history-remind-me-things-which-im-thankful/

DAYHOFF: Clock docs make house call to fix historic Westminster clock tower on Main Street Eagle Archives Posted 8/08/10 by Carroll Eagle, Westminster Eagle

(Enlarge) Wayne Reifsnider, assistant superintendent for the City of Westminster Street Department, works to replace the hands of the 1896 Westminster town clock in the early morning hours of Aug. 3. Reifsnider was assisting a crew from Precision Repair, a timepiece restoration company, which performed a bit of delicate surgery four stories above Westminster's Main Street as part of an overall restoration project for the historic clock. (Photo by Kevin E. Dayhoff)


In the early morning hours of Aug. 3, the old clock atop the old Westminster fire hall -- which served Westminster from 1896 to 1998 at 66 E. Main St. -- got a brand new shiny pair of hands. The venerable timepiece has been a fixture in town since it was dedicated at 3:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26, 1896.


City of Westminster workers used a crane from Thomas Bennett and Hunter, a local road-building firm; and Dave Booth of Precision Repair, a timepiece restoration firm, to accomplish the delicate surgery performed four stories in the air.

Clock doctor Booth was assisted by Wayne Reifsnider, assistant city Street Department superintendent. Meanwhile, Superintendent Larry Bloom, along with Jeff Glass, the city public works director; and city workers Shawn Lockard and Alan Miller, served as ground support.

Keeping the old timepiece working has been challenging for the city workers in the last number of years.

Miller said it was good to get it worked on, as he looked briefly up at the old clock. Lockard added, “I’m glad that we’re finally getting it fixed.”

Westminster videos and Jeff’s giant lava lamp


Westminster videos and Jeff’s giant lava lamp

The Westminster mayor and common council meeting this evening was a lot of fun. It was upbeat, positive, and informative.

In this evening’s Westminster mayor and council meeting, city administrator Marge Wolf announced that the city has purchased 4 video cameras. Soon, various city employees will be trained, by the Community Media Center, to operate the cameras so that the city can get the word out better about all the great work the city is doing.

Of course it is a smart move on the part of the city and the effort is to be applauded.

After the meeting several of us were talking about my “Westminster News” playlist - http://tinyurl.com/lubncg - on my YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/kevindayhoff

In particular, “20071008 Jeff and Joe discover a giant lava lamp” http://bit.ly/MQoOd. Please enjoy.
